Until bail is furnished Constable Town
send viii ~ Q matter OF form remain on
guard at the rcctory, although there y
not the least danger Of Mr.. Ward -
Gaping. He rsfusedlast evening 10 ny
anything about his case.
The growth Of the conviction in The
minds Of the inhabitants OF Englcw00d
that Mr.. Ward, instead Of shooting his
delicate and diminutive wife in ht OF
temporary insanity, shot her In cool
brutality, has been slow but sure, end
public sentiment, which at first was ono
OF pity for his misfortunes, is now one
Of condemnation Of his tyranny and
cruelty.
Mrs Ward, whom he had shot through
the jaw just before he attempted 70 kill
himself, was well enough March 1st to
be moved, and she left the rcctory at
Englewood and was taken TO the house
of her brother-in-law, Aaron j. Wander
poel. No. 1 west Sixteenth street, in this
CITY. The following day Mr.. Wander
poel made statement, authorized by
her. which caused great shock 10 Mr..
Wards parishioners at Englewood. and
made great change in public senti-
ment there.
Mr.. vanderpoel said that the shoot
ing was the crowning act in a long pc.
y;od of brutal violence ON the part OF
Mr.. Ward 10 his wife (; that he had
treated her like dog during the great
er part OF their married life that he
was man OF ungovernable temper, al
though he seemed to be quite cool on
the night of the shooting, since no
called her ont of bed at four different
times before he fred, and informed her
of his intention to kill her ~ though II
were perfectly natural proceeding ON
his part. Mr.. yanderpoel also int-
mated that Mrs. Ward might begin pro-
ceedings for q divorce on account OF
her husbands treatment OF her.
Another thing helped 10 set people
thinking that the insanity theory WAS
baseless. As soon as Mr.. Ward recov-
cred consciousness after the shooting no
asked;
"Do you think Mrs. Wards relatives
will prosecute me ?"
Then, few minutes after: " How
does Mrs. Ward feel toward me?"
These questions, in conjunction with
Mrs. Wards statement Of his treatment
of her, caused the Englewood Protec-
tive Association TO watch Mr.. Ward,
and he has been practically in the GUS
tody of that organization for tho last
three weeks.
MIR. Ward is O large, burly man, who
